Prior to joining Inlayer, DiFraia spent five years at Scality as GM and Field CTO, where he played a key role in driving growth and expanding the company’s market presence. He also served as VP, strategic alliances, at Turbonomic and held multiple leadership roles at Dell EMC, including leading global sales for the ECS software-defined storage platform. During his time at Dell EMC, he was also part of the product launch teams for Atmos and ECS, two foundational object storage platforms in the industry.

At Scality, DiFraia will focus on expanding the company’s AI alliances and partner ecosystem, working closely with leading technology providers, system integrators, and cloud platforms to deliver differentiated solutions for enterprise AI workloads. His appointment underscores Scality’s aggressive focus on AI and next-generation data-driven use cases.

This builds upon his already extensive sales leadership, product strategy, and P&L responsibilities in both large and innovative companies in the storage industry. He is the ideal leader to spearhead Scality’s strategic alliances now and into the future for key initiatives in enterprise AI, cyber-resilience, and sovereign control,” said Emilio Roman, CRO, Scality.
